2012 Scholarship Winner – Sharon Tang, Loyola University

Sharon Tang, a first year graduate student at Loyola University, Baltimore Maryland received the 2012 Voice Aerobics student scholarship. The $500 scholarship was begun as my way of giving back to the profession I love, and to support a next generation speech-language pathologist.I was touched by many of the emails and applications I received. Although the monetary amount being offered seems small, I realize that for a student, even a small scholarship amount can help to pay for text books or other miscellaneous expenses, and ease the financial burden of trying to obtain a degree.

I read and re-read applications trying to select a recipient. Since there was no “scientific” way to make my selection, I am afraid I yield to my heart. I was touched by Sharon’s desire to enter a field where “it is possible to truly make a difference in other’s lives.” Like me, Sharon is also an animal lover, and in fact rescues dogs through the Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue. In her desire to combine interests of ”helping people and working with dogs,” she hopes to one day have a therapy dog.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to contact me and submit an application. Acceptance of applications for next year will begin March 1, 2013, with a deadline of April 30, 2013.

Juggling work, bills, and school were my life as a working student. Looking back now, I wonder how I did it! But when one is committed to a goal, anything is possible. Now I want to help a student achieve hers or his goals!

Why exercise the breathing muscles?

A healthy voice requires functioning vocal folds, healthy and well hydrated (moist) tissue, and good breath support. This is the real power-source for the voice. If breath support is inadequate or not used efficiently, then the voice may become too soft, raspy, hoarse, etc. Exercising your Voice yields the same benefits as any other type of exercise.
